AI generated Image: Lost in Endless Compilations In FPGA design, the success or failure of compilation plays a crucial role in determining the efficiency and effectiveness of the overall design process. Traditionally, designers had to invest significant time and resources into running compilations, often spanning several days, only to find out that they failed due to various reasons. However, with the advent of Machine Learning (ML) models, a revolutionary predictive capability has emerged that can forecast whether an FPGA compilation is likely to succeed or fail....

Following 2 tumultous years, we are glad to officially announce our post-Covid release - InTime 2022. One of the top features that is included with InTime 2022 is *drum roll*- Automated Floorplanning! Floorplanning can be said to be the last bastion of FPGA design automation. It is one of those problems where the solution can be classified either as an art or science....

This new whitepaper introduces the Machine-Learning-based approach implemented in InTime toolset to identify the root causes of the placement or the routing failures, mitigating them through adjustment of the user constraints, and setting the various options making the design placement and routing f...

Placement and routing failures during the FPGA backend flow are frequent with many FPGA designs especially when these involve multiple physical constraints. This new whitepaper introduces the Machine-Learning-based approach implemented in InTime toolset to transform these failures to a less complex problem of timing convergence. InTime identifies the root causes of the placement or the routing failures, mitigating them through adjustment of the user constraints, and setting the various options making the design placement and routing friendly....

Tired of seeing over-fitting error messages like these? Error (170011): Design contains 873586 blocks of type combinational node. However, the device contains only 854400 blocks. Error (170048): Selected device has 2713 RAM location(s) of type M20K block. However, the current design needs more than 2713 to successfully fit Error (170012): Fitter requires 52617 LABs to implement the design, but the device contains only 42720 LABs…...

The newest addition to the InTime family is the Libero tool which supports Microchip FPGA devices. It was first included in late 2020; since then we have been honing and "sharpening the knives", improving the QoR which includes support for the latest Libero v12.6 release. With the latest InTime release, performance improvements for Libero designs can be greater than 50%. The graph below shows the level of improvements for different device families....

2020 began tumultuously. Most of us went through a period of isolation, and InTime 3.0 was born in this new landscape. With the world opening up again, abeit slowly, we are happy to give a run down of the latest features in InTime 3.0 Auto Pilot - Automating ML and Recipes Selection (Auto-ML) One recurring feedback from customers, is about automating the recipes.

This is an update of an older post. Many of us are working remotely to protect ourselves, families and our communities. Cloud usage has surged as it is a pool of "ready made" infrastructure for communication and collaboration. This post explains how you can use cloud to build your project with some simple Tcl command in . No additional infrastructure knowledge is requried for you to get started. Sample scripts provided.

Update: 03 Apr 2020 Many of us are presently working remotely and with it, there has been a surge in compute requirements. This is a rehash of on how you can take advantage of the cloud to complete your builds faster. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any se...
